Excerpt from Ishmael, Vol. 1 of 3: A NovelPen-hoel, the old chateau of pen-hoe - fi, reared its steep roof and conical turrets in ...the midst of a land of orchards, and hill-sides, and marshy fertile meadows populous with cattle, and narrow lanes, with here and there a cluster of Old stone cottages and a dingy Old inn, which called itself a Village. The cottages were substantial and roomy, the barns and rickyards had a wealthy air. Here there was a ﬂock of turkeys in a field, there a proces sion of gray-brother geese marching along a lane. Yonder, across the salt meadows, the shallow Wind ing streamlets, shadowed by the gray foliage of many a willow - a broad stretch of wet sand glistened in the light, and far away beyond the level sands glimmered the gray Of a distant sea.This was Brittany; and the house of pen-hoel was one of the Oldest Chateaux in the province, and the man who owned it counted himself one Of the best in the land. He was the descendant of a good Old Breton family, a race that had never been rich, and which had been going downward financially for the last hundred years. But Ray mond Caradec of pen-hoél did not value himself by the length of his purse. The. Traditions of his family were to him as gold and Silver are to other men. He never forgot to assert his superiority to the common herd.
